And I, Thank You!
This morning, I cozy up to my usual place with this cup spending this moment giving thanks for the abundance of God’s goodness this past week. I find this to be a good time to remind myself that I am blessed and I am grateful. Actually, for me, each day is a day of contentment and gratitude for the gifts of the past and the challenges it provides to help me keep my motor running and the mass between my ears from deteriorating.
I can get so caught up in the day’s routine that I forget to stop and be thankful for the good in my life if I don’t start this way. During the day, I am triggered to be grateful for big and small things, by big and small things. All because of a good morning coffee-kick off spiked with appreciation.
I see my wife and kids; I give thanks.
I pop peanuts into my mouth; I give thanks.
I recall a happy moment when I still had my bangs; I give thanks.
I delivered a good daddy joke; I give thanks. And laugh at myself.
This is my way of building my stockpile of happiness (an Ikigai rule).
Today and always, be thankful. And be happier.
Cheers!
